R CANADIAN TARIFF ~ ONPARWITHU. S. Rates Seen as Means of Re-| taliation, but This Is De- nied by Minister. By the Associated Press. OTTAWA, May 3.—A new budget wi before the House of Commons yeste day, embodying a system of counter- vailing tariff schedules which will make | the Canadian duty on commodities in | reciprocel trade between this country and the United States equal to the | United States tariff. The products subjected to the coun- tervailing rates are wheat, wheat flour, rye, oats, live stock, eggs, butter, meats, potatoes, soups, cut flowers and cast iron pipe. The budget does not specifically name | the United States, but that is the only | country with which Canada carries on | any considerable trade in which the | commodities listed are both imported and exported. C. A. Dunning, minister of finance, in his speech presenting his first bu et Thursday, denied that the counter- | ailing rates were placed in the budget | as a means of retaliation for tariffs | t “Those who raise prohibi barr lvrsl against our products entering their mar- | kets,” he said, “must expect that we | will extend favor to our own good cus- | tomers rather than to them. I speak in no spirit of retaliation. I would rather extend lower tariff favors to | those who extend them to us than to impose prohibitive tariffs in return for like treatment.” Under the operation of the counter- wvailing duties, wheat, on which a duty of 12 cents a bushel is levied under the general schedule, would be subject to a duty of 42 cents per bushel from the | United States. Wheat flour, on which | the general levy is fixed at 50 cents & barrel, would pay $1.04 per hundred- weight if imported from the United States. These figures are based on the present United States tariff schedules. The countervailing rates would aut matically adjust themselves to any changes on the commodities listed in the new United States tariff bill now before Congress. | In his budget speech Mr. Dunning said Canada's visible exports showed a decline of $44,000,000 for the fiscal | year, the total being $1,444.900,000 as against imports of $1,248,200,000. He said the country's largest. trade continues to be with the United States. | Exports to that country during the past year increased $15.300,000 and imports | decreased $20,500,000. ACTION SEEN AS THREAT. ‘ e | | Canadian Tariff Announcement Brings ' - Divergent Opinions. | By the Associated Press. Divergent opinions of the Ottawa an- | nouncement that Canada will place in effect immediately countervailing duties on all goods exchanged with the United States based on existing American tar- | iffs and subsequently change them to | the basis of the new law now being | framed were expressed yesterday by con- gressional tariff leaders. | Republicans in both houses refrained from public comment in view of the | present status of the Ameriéan legis- lation. | There were indications, however, that some of them construed the Canadian | action as a possible threat to influence | Congress in its handling of the Haw- | ley-Smoot measure. | Both Chairman Smoot of the Senate | finance committee and Chairman Haw- | ley of the House ways and means com- mittee declined to be quoted. Democrats contended enactment of high American tariffs inpvitably leads | to retaliatory measures by foreign na- | :rk:nd' and affects this country’s foreign | e. “The policy of the United States in enacting such tremendously high tariff walls,” said Representative Crisp of Georgia, a Democratic member of the ways and means committee, “invites | retaliation from other nations.” 'This action of Canada is conclusive REDUCED 13 of Original Price EAL ESTATE.

If you know what you want to do, and then do it, in spite of handicaps and discouragements, vyou have a better chance of gaining success than if you scatter your energies and talents. Such a formula applies with | as much force to any profession and | business as it does to Writing. | You will need to be a person of edu- | cation to succced as a writer. That| doesn't mean that college degree. If you have imagina- tion, the knowledge of how to use words, | fecling in expression, and the benefits | derived from wide reading and broad contacts with your fellows, you can | consider that you have the educational equipment a writer needs. Always remember that the more you know about the world, its peoples, its | customs_about politics,” economies, his- tory and philosophy, the better you will be as a writer. Such knowledge can be ultimately translated into money if you are contemplating earning your living with your pen or typewriter. Start as Reporter. | If you feel an intense urge to write creative material it would be well for You to start in as a newspaper reporter. | Such experience will teach you how to use words properly and effectively, how | to condense, how to stress the important and dismiss the trivial. From it you | should obtain a sound knowledge™ of values as well as excellent training in writing. As a reporter you will meet a wide | variety of types. ‘Such human contacts | are of high value to the writer in news- paper work and later on in the creative | field. if that goal is reached. All ex THE EVENING to finish a creative piece to your own satisfaction. Always submit neat-appearing manu- script. Careless and sloppy copy prej- udices an editor in most cases. Use ex- treme care in selecting your plots, if you are trying your hand at fiction, and strive to find the right market for your story. Material that suits one magazine | will not fit the policy of another. Above all, if you have the creative urge and the ability to write, don't surrender in the face of rejections. | You may find a sale for material that ou regard below the standard you have set for yourself. It may prove profitable | work But don’t let it divert you from the path you have mapped out. The longer you stick to such work the harder it will be for you to break away. Make | sacrifices, if necessary, to do the things ou want to do. Study Your Field. | Study yourself, so as to know what | field of writing best suits your talents. | You may not possess creative ability and | still earn even more than a comfortable living as a writer. Editorial and special article writers command high salaries on newspaper and magazine staffs. Ca- | pable critics and reporters are well paid. There are many openings for those of | you who can write what you see and hear or have analytical ability along with that of facile and trenchant ex- | pression. |~ You will need well developed creative | powers, in addition to writing talent of | high order. if you are to write successful novels, short storfes or plays. Those of you who succeed as fiction writers will have an earning capacity as great as !that of big corporation executives. Scores of writers today hage incomes of $100.000 or more a year. With a wider and constantly growing distribution of beoks and magazines, and | the demands of theater and motion’ pic- | tures, the successful author can earn | great sums.
